Beatrice Moricci

I am a dreamer. I believe that everything can be possible. I love watching. I am curious. I look for simplicity. I am seduced by beauty, emotions, good vibes, wonder: these are the four main ingredients that I watch in my life and create in my photographs.

I was born in Tuscany, in the countryside near Florence. My family had a fashion firm and I grew up inside creativity and business. After my studies in foreign languages I wanted to create and plan what my mind suggested to me so I attended the Design University and I degreed with maximum grades. Design was a wonderful field but I was too much impatient to see my works in the market so I decided to make some handcraft design and I had a good business and satisfaction in it. In this period, photography was very important to me. I liked to shoot what I was doing and represent my emotions. I used to attend a lot of photography classes, exhibits and photo clubs.

The turning moment was when I met a big wedding photojournalist, Daniele Vertelli: he saw some of my works and asked to start a collaboration with me. For two years long I have alternated my works in Design with photographing with Vertelli, but in the end photography won. This is the discovery of an art that makes fast the being of one's own life. “Photography is a fast action, the drawing of a meditation” Henri Cartier-Bresson. This is the quote that better tells about my photography. From 4 years on I am a freelance photographer and I am specialize in wedding photojournalism, creative portraits and food photography. I am curious to know what will happen in the future.

Often humor is the photographer capturing something that happens spontaneously, but this picture was the photographer seeing a great reflection. Well done.

This clever illusion made me smile. I am not sure if the hand and brush adds valuable information, but it works either way.

This could be my first known experience with a photo made by a photographer using a camera to draw a mustache on someone. She and the entire scene made for a great opportunity for the photographer. Kudos to the photographer for doing some highbrow strokes on the “down low.”

This image has terrific eye appeal that begins with an interesting twist on the traditional toss of the bridal bouquet. This is a perfect example of a goal I’ve had for many years when shooting stand-alone newspaper features; to seek the “unusual of the usual.” As professionals we are paid for more than our camera knowledge. People mostly choose us for our vision, to find the uncommon in the midst of the common.

This was by far my favorite category. In the details, was the story of a wedding. I got more from these details than some of the other images. In this case every pictures tells a story. Fabulous. The moment was extraordinary, the bouquet, the garter, the hands on the left, perfectly composed. Brilliant.

Wow! Now that is a detail! How fun to find a detail like this in the midst of making a fine image of a fun moment. The wind blows the bride's dress up just enough to reveal that traditional garter on one leg - situated respectfully at mid-thigh, ready to be removed at the reception by her new husband and sprung into the air much like she is in this moment both physically and... presumably, emotionally.
